City of Eugene needs our input on Parks

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Gary Haliski

popupEugeneThe city of Eugene is trying a new approach to gather input from residents. The city has created a ‘Pop-Up Tour’.  Rather than setting meeting times and places and inviting citizens to attend a meeting, the city will be touring the city, stopping at high traffic events or locations.

The two closest Pop-Up Tour opportunities are:

  • June 25th – Bi-Mart on River Road. 4-6 PM
  • July 30th – Awbrey Park Concert in the Park.  6-8:30 PM

This is a great opportunity to give the city some feedback and have some fun at the  same time.

FREE activities include:

  • Chatter Box Recording Station
  • Picture Your Parks Photo Booth
  • Parks & Recreation Information
  • Public Input Opportunities
  • Pedal Powered Music 
  • Kids’ Activities
  • Ice Cream

Luper Cemetery Memorial Day Open House

Posted on May 8, 2015 by Gary Haliski

lupercemeteryThe Luper Cemetery Memorial Day Open House will be May 23, 24 and 25, 2015.

A dedication ceremony will be held during the Memorial Day event for the new monument that was installed this winter near the cemetery entrance. The monument is a memorial to the people known to be interred at Luper Cemetery whose gravesites and markers cannot be located. A grant from the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries helped make this memorial possible.

The cemetery may be accessed every day from dawn to dusk by walking or biking the half-mile gravel road from the West Beacon Drive entrance to the cemetery. The main vehicle gate is opened on special occasions, including Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
